What does it mean to be cruelty free in Korea? It means you turn into a sleuth, detective, bloodhound…. you do everything you can to seek out those precious products that are both awesome and not tested on animals. You hunt them down in stores. You Google every product in the cosmetic store. You email companies to verify. You do a lot of work but it’s always worth it when you find that special product that is at once both awesome and cruelty free.
But, it’s getting easier! Each season I seem to find more and more products which are cruelty free which are both easy on the wallet and are produced leaving those doe-eyed beautiful animals alone.
So find great products here as I keep it updated for all of us who like to shop kindly!
